Chapter 8

I awoke to my phone buzzing and tinkling on my bedside table, glancing at my alarm clock I could see it was 8:30 in the morning, I slightly over slept.

I reached out blindly for the phone, feeling around till I finally found it.

'Hello?' I answered in a croaky voice.

'What the hell Bells?' Charlie? 'Why haven't you been answering your phone, I've called like 20 times...' I had to cut him off.

'Dad, I'm sorry I didn't answer I WAS sleeping you know' sheesh,

'Oh, sorry Bells, forgot about the time difference. Anyway how you been? It's been a while since we spoke, how's the job?'

'Yea it has been a while, sorry bout that, jobs good, been busy with that not much time for anything else at the moment. So how's Forks doing? How's Sam and Emily getting along after the wedding? Sorry I couldn't make it back'.

'Oh that's ok Bells, they understood, everyone had a great time' I so wanted to go back for Sam and Emily's wedding but we had so much on at work I just could not get away.

'That's great, so why the call dad? Other than the fact we haven't spoken for a while' Charlie does not usually call unless something is happening.

'Well, I just wanted to give you a heads up that I'm taking a vacation soon', he paused for a while, now I'm worried.

'Ok dad that's great, you could use the break' he does work to hard.

'Yea, I know, so I thought I would come and see you, how's about it?'

Charlie, getting on a plane, to come see me? I love my dad but Charlie doesn't do well on planes, I'm a little scared for him.

'Are you sure dad? It's a REALLY long flight?' Can he handle being confined for like 9 hours?

'Sure Bells I will be fine, I want to come see you, besides I will sleep right through. Any ways I have to go so I will let you know the details nearer the time

'Ok dad, don't work to hard and say hi to everyone for me'

'Will do' and with that he was gone.

I breathed a deep sigh, so Charlie is coming to visit, great, now I just need to work out how to get some time off work

Right then there was a knocking at my front door.
